[rest of your message snipped to conserve bandwidth.]

	You can't win this mission--  It's the losing track.  The winning 
track has you attacking the Kilrathi home planet.  You messed up 
somewhere earlier--  go back and replay the game.

I actually kolled the dreadnought  - just keep shooting it up - you can try reducing your sheilds to get mor gunpower once 
you are directly behind the ship and the lasers can't get you.... Or try Alt-O to reduce vunerability

Try going along and blowing up all the turrets first.

You can fly inside some capital ships, so try going inside and shooting where 
the laser turrets can't get you.

Erm, if its really THE Dreadnaught you're facing (Thrakath's
Flagship)....

Then you must be at the battle of Earth....

And those 'Corvettes' are actually Sorthaks...

And there is no way to win, anyway, even if you WERE to destroy the
darn thing...

Play for however many hours or days you can/want to...

Then just eject and enjoy the movie...you don't get many chances in a
lifetime to mouth off to a Prince of Kilrah, to his face...

Then go back to the mission before you went to Proxima, and figure out
the problem, and win the mission, and save the Earth without having to
got there, and never have to fight that hopeless fight.
